What does a child learn first in phonics foundation?

Children begin with letter sounds, short vowels, oral blending, and simple CVC words before moving into more fluent early reading.

How can parents support this course at home?

Short daily review works best: 5 to 10 minutes of sound review, blending, and one short decodable line after class.
